The official release time of the Genshin Impact version 2.5 update is February 16 at 11.00 am (UTC+8).

The time conversion for other regions is as follows:

• Indian Standard Time: 8.30 am on February 16
• Pacific Standard Time: 7.00 pm on February 15
• Eastern Standard Time: 10.00 pm on February 15
• Australian Central Time: 3.30 pm on February 16

It is worth noting that the pre-installation feature for patch 2.5 will be available from February 14 at 11.00 (UTC+8), and users can download some upcoming resources early on.

The update maintenance begins at 6.00 am (UTC+8) on February 16 and is estimated to take about five hours.

The servers will go down for about five hours before the release time for maintenance. Gamers will automatically be logged out of the game when the maintenance starts and hence, should plan their in-game routine accordingly to avoid any lost in-game progress.

However, players love to wait for these five hours since the developers compensate them with Primogems after the maintenance is complete. Users receive 60 Primogems for every hour the servers are down, so a total of 300 Primogems will be sent to the in-game email after the update.

Newies should note that only Travelers with an adventure rank of five and above are eligible to receive maintenance compensation. It will be available to be claimed in the in-game mail for 30 days. Gamers should make sure to claim these Primogrems at their convenience before they expire.

It's safe to say that the version 2.5 update looks very exciting, and after a few days, individuals will have a chance to experience it all.
